The invention relates to a stowing device (26) for an extendible or compressible hose (14), which preferably has annular or spiral plies and which is provided for supplying, in particular, conditioned air to an aircraft (12) parked on a taxiway (10). The stowing device is located in the vicinity of a passenger bridge (27) while being connected thereto. The aim of the invention is to enable a controlled stowing of the hose when not in use while simultaneously enabling a desired amount of air to flow therethrough. To this end, the invention provides that the stowing device (26, 124) emanates from the passenger bridge (27), extends along the ground (10) while located in proximity thereto, is provided in the form of a tubular or channel-shaped holding compartment with an opening (30) located on the face, and peripherally surrounds the hose (14, 126) by more than 180 DEG .
